Riley the bernedoodle

We've chosen our next dog! She's a 5-week old bernedoodle (Bernese mountain dog/standard poodle) - coming home in late September. We wanted something really different from Luna (F1 mini goldendoodle) since our hearts are still broken from her passing.

I know Luna never had the tufts around her eyes and she was a flat-coated goldendoodle so I'm predicting at least "scruffy" for this little one. I looked at some pictures of Bernese puppies and she only looks slightly fluffier than one of those so I don't think she will be curly.

I'm curious exactly how big she'll be when she comes home... I'm predicting she's already bigger than my neighbor's bichon-maltese (also a black and white dog). It will be funny to see the two side by side.

I think there is so much she could change even between 5 and 8 weeks that it would be hard for any of us not used to tiny puppies to even hazard a guess, but one thing for sure is that she is adorable. Her nose, if no other reason, would make her my first pick. I can't wait to see more photos of her.
